Kristi Noem lied. Again. Her ICE agents are not going after the “worst of the worst" or a fabricated cannibal. They’re detaining and deporting moms, dads, children, nurses, hardworking people, and our neighbors. I’m impeaching Noem for tearing apart families. theintercept.com/2026/02/23/k...

Proud to earn a 100% on @lcv.org’s 2025 #LCVScorecard. I’ll continue to fight against Trump’s attacks on our climate and defend: ⚡️ Clean, affordable energy 🗳️ A strong, equitable democracy 🌱 Environmental justice 💧 Clean air and water 🏞️ Our public lands and waters Learn more at lcv.org/scorecard

Trump’s political rampage against Democratic-led states continues, something Illinoisans know all too well. He’s stopped vital funding for Medicaid in Minnesota, punishing hardworking Americans. Trump is willing to sacrifice people’s health to score political points. It’s despicable.

Fourteen years ago today, Trayvon Martin was shot and killed — all because of the color of his skin. He was only 17 years old. So-called Stand Your Ground laws need to be repealed, and Congress must pass gun safety laws instead.

I’m saddened to hear that five people were injured in a mass shooting near Jackson Park last night. And I’m also angry. Our children deserve safe parks. They deserve better. My colleagues in Congress must join me in ending the gun violence epidemic by passing gun safety laws.

The 4,500+ farmers in my district, and farmers across the Midwest, are depending on Congress to deliver year-round, nationwide E15 sales. Republican leadership promised to vote on a bill TODAY to support farmers. But no such bill was scheduled for a vote.

Under DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, ICE is unchecked and dangerous. Her agents have assaulted people, detained pregnant women, and even killed American citizens. I’m impeaching Secretary Noem for breaking the Constitution.

Five years ago, the House passed the #EqualityAct to protect LGBTQ+ Americans. Five years later, it is still not law. I will continue to fight to protect marriage equality, repeal the trans military ban, close health gaps, & support LGBTQ+ people.

Two hours into #SOTU

Marco Rubio is probably just glad he wasn't assigned another job.

Trump's "SAVE" Act doesn’t protect our elections—it targets our democracy by disenfranchising nearly 70 million women. I helped pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act because in America, voters choose their leaders. Not the other way around.

SHAME ON YOU, DONALD. SHAME. #SOTU

The President is putting his name on failed policies that cost Americans more: TrumpRx. Trump taxes. Trump performing art centers. Trump accounts. At least we all know who to blame, then, for higher healthcare costs, higher taxes, and higher costs of living.

Trump calls tariffs a “win.” Illinois families call them a tax on eggs, diesel, and rent. The Supreme Court called them illegal. I am fighting for fair trade that protects jobs, not billionaire profits. #SOTU

Once again, Trump is spinning big lies to cover up his Big Ugly Law. Here is the truth. He cut access to health care. Slashed food assistance. Raised costs on working families. Illinois deserves better. Americans deserve better.

Trump: “Our country is the HOTTEST!” Someone’s pants are on fire🔥. Families face $4/gallon for gas, soaring grocery costs, and unattainable housing prices. His wins are for his billionaire besties only. He is out of touch and out of control.

I’m proud to bring Karen Freeman-Wilson, CEO of Chicago Urban League, as my #SOTU2026 guest. For over a century, this organization has built pathways to jobs, homeownership, and small business success for Black Americans.

Trump brags that he’s “totally exonerated,” , yet the DOJ withheld dozens of pages on allegations he abused minors. This NPR reporting confirms what we already know: Trump LIES and OBSTRUCTS JUSTICE. www.npr.org/2026/02/24/n...

Tonight, President Trump will brag about his A+++ economy and the great job he’s doing as president. Americans know the truth: prices are rising, healthcare is unattainable, and unemployment is high. We deserve better than a president who is out of touch and lies about the state of our union.

Under Kristi Noem’s watch, DHS and ICE have trampled the Constitution. Gestapo agents raided homes without warrants, detained people without due process, and killed Americans in the streets without justification. Noem must be impeached.

Four years of courage. Four years of defiance. Four years of fighting for democracy. Honored to have met these Ukrainian defenders in Chicago. Ukraine’s resilience is the world’s inspiration.

Families are paying more for groceries, rent, and gas. They feel it every day. And what does Trump do? He doubles down on reckless tariffs that raise prices even more. This is Trump economics. Out of touch. Out of control. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

To every Team USA athlete, coach, & staff member: you made history. You carried the hopes of a nation into the arena and delivered with grit, grace, and heart. Thank you for every unforgettable moment. Congrats to those who won medals. See you soon for the Paralympics. 🇺🇸

The Director of FBI, everyone.

There’s no justice for the dead. True justice would be Renee Nicole Good, Alex Pretti, and Silverio Villegas Gonzalez still alive today. I continue to fight for accountability to: ▶️ Dismantle ICE & CBP. ▶️ Impeach Kristi Noem. ▶️ End qualified immunity. Nothing less.

With over 4,500 farms in my district, I know how many families and communities are depending on us to get this right. Republicans’ farm bill protects pesticide corporations, weakens clean water safeguards, ignores SNAP, and leaves family farmers paying the price for Trump’s tariffs.

Today for Black History Month, I’m honoring my soror Alice Allison Dunnigan. She broke barriers in the White House press corps and forced presidents to answer questions about race and justice. Her fearless reporting reshaped political journalism.

Kristi Noem, you cannot escape accountability. There are no excuses for weaponizing DHS and letting your agents run amok in our cities, killing and terrorizing people. Impeachment is coming for you.

Prices are up across the board. Speaker Johnson tried to block the House from challenging Trump’s tariffs. He failed. Trump’s tariffs policy lost AGAIN in front of the Supreme Court. We should be lowering costs for hardworking families.

Four years after giving birth prematurely, this NICU mom told me she treasures every moment with her daughter—but she still doesn’t have answers as to why it happened. My PREEMIE Act will research the causes of premature birth, so we can prevent families from going through the same trauma.

Honoring John Lewis on his birthday.  Together, we led a 26-hour sit-in on the House floor, protesting Congress’s lack of urgent action after the shooting at Pulse Nightclub.  His legacy inspires me to keep challenging the gun lobby and making Good Trouble. #JohnLewisSelfie

Secretary Noem has weaponized DHS with mass surveillance tools that treat every citizen like a suspect. From ending TPS protections to Gestapo-style ICE raids, she has violated the public trust. Impeachment is the best way to stop her from further eroding our civil liberties.

Next week, President Trump will give the State of the Union and spew lies about lowering healthcare costs. The truth? His Big, Ugly Law gutted Medicaid by nearly $1 BILLION. He refused to extend the ACA tax credits. Our public health is in a state of crisis.

Trump: "I want to be a good boy." Then don't illegally tax our groceries, toys, computers, and basic necessities.

The Supreme Court dealt a devastating blow to President Trump’s tariffs. Speaker Johnson may not have grown a spine to stand up to Trump, but we just won in the highest court of the land. A 6-3 rebuke to Trump’s overreach is a long-overdue win for the American wallet.

I led the @demwomencaucus.bsky.social in demanding the release of pregnant and nursing moms in ICE detention centers. Pregnant women have been shackled, deprived of prenatal care, and even lost their babies. It’s inhumane. Like these judges, I want answers.

Illinois lost 400 farms in 2025. Republicans are proposing a farm bill that is too little, too late. It ignores Trump's tariffs, lost markets, and massive debt. Our farmers need a lifeline. USDA data confirms it: Trump’s economy is killing family farms. We must act now.

First, Renée Good. Then Alex Pretti. Who is next? Masked federal agents operating with deadly force and little transparency is a failure of oversight. I will continue my fight to rein in DHS, end anonymous enforcement, and impeach Kristi Noem.

Veterans followed the call to serve. They should not be punished for following their doctor’s care plan.

Imagine believing that you can "pledge" $10 billion as if it were your own personal funds. That’s taxpayer money going to a so-called Board of Peace. Someone tell President Trump that Article I still exists: Congress holds the purse strings, not the President.

Republicans shut down DHS and let ICE continue its raids and mass deportations. I will keep fighting for oversight and accountability, including my impeachment articles against Secretary Noem. It is beyond time to dismantle failed immigration enforcement models and rebuild.

Trump’s tariffs are a tax on American families. Trump can try to spin it all he wants, but the truth is that parents and seniors on fixed incomes are footing the bill. I am working with @housedemocrats.bsky.social to bring costs down. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/b...

Today, many in our community observe Ash Wednesday and begin the Lenten season. It is a time for reflection, humility, and recommitting ourselves to service and care for those most in need. Wishing all who observe a meaningful and peaceful season.

As Ramadan begins, I wish peace, reflection, and strength to all who observe. May this holy month bring comfort to families, deepen compassion for others, and renew our shared commitment to community. Ramadan Mubarak.

Happy Lunar New Year! 🧧 Wishing everyone who celebrates strength, courage, and new beginnings in the Year of the Fire Horse.

What we are seeing under Secretary Noem is not leadership — it is a moral and policy failure. She’s overseen: Cruel detention conditions. Families living in fear. Communities being targeted. I am pursuing impeachment because accountability matters. Always.

It’s #PączkiDay! Today, celebrate sweet traditions, community, and a little joy before Lent begins. Go to your favorite Chicago bakery for a delicious paczki, and enjoy every bite!

Reverend Jesse Jackson showed us what it means to keep hope alive. His faith, courage, and lifelong fight for justice improved our democracy and inspired generations. I’m honored to have called Rev. Jackson a friend, supporter, and constituent. May he rest in power.

ICE may be leaving Minneapolis. But the lasting trauma, pain, and damage are not. You do not get to deploy aggressive enforcement, devastate communities, & walk away without consequence. I will keep pursuing impeachment against Secretary Noem. I will keep pushing until there is JUSTICE.
